Reformat Item Description (non-intrusive)

#1 Post by apewithgrape »

Hi everyone,

I’d like to introduce a small yet very handy addon I’ve been created Reformat Item Description (https://te4.org/games/addons/tome/refor ... escription).
As the name suggests, it automatically reformats item description text by aligning all the key: value pairs, making tooltips much easier to scan and understand at a glance.

Unlike some similar addons, this addon is non-intrusive and doesn’t alter the original description code.

Features
  • Automatically aligns key: value properties for improved readability.
  • Hold Alt + hover to view the original, unformatted tooltip.
Note
  • This addon increases the item tooltip width by 50% for better layout.
  • Keys longer than 25 characters are note reformatted to avoid excessive wrapping.

Contribute / Report Bugs
Contributions, bug reports and improvements are welcome here or at https://github.com/cmtjk/tome-reformat-item-description.

I’ve found this plugin extremely helpful for quickly parsing item stats, so definitely check it out if you want cleaner item tooltips.

Cheers!

Code: Select all

Version History
1.0.2 - Revert tooltip width to default, apply 50% width increase to item tooltips only.
1.0.1 - Remove additional empty line when description starts with section header, make 'ALT' behave like 'CTRL' when pressed and released.
1.0.0 - Initial commit of 'tome-reformat-item-description'.
